• Paris France Bibliothèque Nationale de France Lat. 13048 (foll. 31–58)

Written probably at Corbie, possibly at St Riquier. Was certainly at Corbie by the thirteenth century, for an ex-libris of that time is seen on fol. A: ‘Liber Sancti petri corbeie’. Came to Saint-Germain-des-Prés in the seventeenth century where it was numbered ‘884, olim 665’ (see fol. 1). Came into the Bibliothèque Nationale during the Revolution. The St Petersburg part was acquired by Peter Dubrowsky during the Revolution.

Script is a fully developed example of the peculiar calligraphic minuscule known as a-b and described under 5.554. An added line in late Maurdramnus type is seen on fol. 58v at the end of text. MS Lat. 7701 (CLA 5.570) is a sister MS with the same dimensions and number of lines to a page.
